5. Genesis
4. SNES
3. PS2
2. 2600
1. NES

They're obviously going with consoles that made a huge impact or were revolutionary in some way. The top 10 will be coming tomorrow and friday. So here's my guesses:

1. NES
2. PS2
3.Atari 2600
4.SNES
5.Playstation
6.Genesis
7.Xbox 360
8.Dreamcast
9.N64
10.Wii

I've been keeping an eye on this. I'm happy that the Atari 7800 finally got some recognition. 8)

If the Sega Saturn was ranked 18th, they obviously aren't rating the consoles by how good they were. If revolutions and popularity are what this is all about, my predictions for the top 3 are:

1. Famicom
2. Wii
3. PS2

Just sick of IGN and their self-deluded authority regarding the subject matter.

I thought the same thing when they included the original Odyssey. It's a bit of a stretch to call that a video game. All it was was 2 squares. It was more like a board game with video technology that gave way to full on video games.
NES, SNES, PS1, N64, DC, PS2, GCN, Wii, PS3, 360, GB, GBC, GBA, GBA SP, PSP 3000, and 3DS XL

It's one of the worst "Top" I've ever seen.

Problem is, theres honestly only 6 or 7 consoles that REALLY changed gaming. I'd say 1-2600 2-NES 3-PSX 4-Dreamcast 5-PS2 7-Wii. These consoles really lead the way in changing the way we play games. Having 25 consoles that changed gaming is stupid.
